CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129610 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a camera module and/or an electronic device comprising a first guide unit with a first magnet in the shape of an arc, a first rotating unit with a rotation base, a support bearing, a first coil, a fixed magnet, and a first yoke. The first rotating unit rotates around the first axis of rotation and is supported by the support bearing. The first coil generates electromagnetic force to rotate the first rotating unit, and the fixed magnet and first yoke create a magnetic force to keep the first rotating unit in place.
- First guide unit with a first magnet in the shape of an arc
- First rotating unit with a rotation base
- Support bearing for rotatably supporting the first rotating unit
- First coil for generating electromagnetic force
- Fixed magnet and first yoke for creating a magnetic force
- First rotating unit rotates while forced against the support bearing by the magnetic force

Original Abstract Submitted
according to various embodiments, a camera module and/or an electronic device comprising same may comprise: a first guide unit comprising a first magnet having the shape of an arc around a first axis of rotation; a first rotating unit comprising a rotation base disposed on the first guide unit and configured to rotate around the first axis of rotation; a support bearing disposed between the first guide unit and the first rotating unit and configured to rotatably support the first rotating unit with regard to the first guide unit; a first coil disposed on the first rotating unit and configured to generate an electromagnetic force together with the first magnet in response to an electric signal applied thereto, thereby providing a driving force for rotating the first rotating unit; a fixed magnet disposed on one of the first guide unit and the first rotating unit; and a first yoke disposed on an other of the first guide unit and the first rotating unit. the first rotating unit may be configured to rotate while remaining forced against the support bearing by a magnetic force generated between the fixed magnet and the first yoke. the first coil may be configured to move along an arc trajectory on the first magnet as the first rotating unit rotates.
